Whoop launches Humans network for wearable users
Whoop members can now share fitness and health metrics with one another on Humans, a social feature inside the company’s app. The company says each account is tied to a real person, verified through the heartbeat recorded by a Whoop wearable.
The service lets users make selected metrics, activities and achievements visible to other Whoop members. They can also post photo-and-caption updates called “Moments,” then comment on or react to other people’s posts. Whoop says Humans is “entirely human,” contrasting it with social platforms it says are saturated with AI, automated accounts, bots and manufactured content.
CEO Will Ahmed called it “the most verifiably human network ever launched.” Whoop’s existing Teams feature will remain available, the company said, with options to share strain, recovery and sleep data and use group leaderboards.
Humans appears in the app’s Community tab. Users can browse Moments from people they follow and, in some posts, swipe up to see activity details. Whoop’s example shows a run photo opening to a map of the route, pace and distance. The tab also displays community members’ sleep, recovery and strain scores.
Users choose which information to share, including Recovery, Strain, Sleep, HRV and resting heart rate. Activities marked sensitive are not shared by default. Moments can be kept private, and Stealth Mode temporarily hides health and performance data without changing a user’s sharing settings.
